Minai form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Minai are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 203 minutes without scoring a league goal. D. Bilonog was the last player to find the net.

The Minai crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Mariupol here at Stadion NTK im. B. M. Bannikova in a Premier League match. The penalty miss from Igor Gonchar in the defeat against Mariupol was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Dnipro-1 (0-4).

This is expected to be a close game, with Minai perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Minai as a small favourite), we find nine games. Minai has won three of these, drawn three and lost three.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Kolos Kovalivka in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadion NTK im. B. M. Bannikova.

Minai have scored 5 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. Minai have conceded 7 in these home matches.

Inhulets form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Inhulets so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Inhulets seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Inhulets are looking to quickly end their 363 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.

Inhulets failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Dnipro-1 (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-1.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Veres.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Inhulets in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Inhulets, three draws and one defeat.

The attacking power of Inhulets when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. For Inhulets, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

The Ukrainian Premier League is the highest division of football in Ukraine. It was created in 1991 as Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union. Twelve teams play each other twice in a 22 match regular season to create a league table. The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
